Harlem rapper Max B has reportedly been found guilty on multiple felony murder conspiracy charges stemming from a 2006 robbery that left one man dead.

 
Max B, real name Charly Wingate, was the alleged mastermind behind a $30,000 heist targeting two men in 2006.
 
Wingate is accused of conspiring with his step brother Kelvin Leerdam, and his girlfriend Gina Conway.
 
Conway served as the prosecution’s secret weapon in the case, testifying against the rapper in exchange for a shorter sentence.
 
Conway testified that she told Wingate of David Taylor and Allan “Jay” Plowden’s flashy life style–making them the perfect targets.
 
Plowden and Taylor were robbed of over $30,000 worth of cash and personal effects in a Fort Lee hotel on September 22, 2006.
 
During the botched robbery Plowden was bound with duct tape, and Taylor was killed by a gunshot to the head.
 
A guilty verdict was announced moments ago.
 
Wingate along with his step brother, were found guilty of 9 out of 11 counts including felony murder, robbery, and conspiracy to commit murder. Wingate was reportedly detained immediately.
 
His sentencing date is set for July 30, 2009.
